Gymnastics for me is something I am passionate about and love. It has been my passion for nearly eight years. It is my job to show up to practice everyday and work as hard as I can. I have always told myself that I am not going to give up on something just because it is difficult. It may not be all glitz and glamor all the time, but nothing is. I will continue to show up everyday and get my routines down. Throughout the years, gymnastics has given me amazing friendships and bonds, a strong work ethic, and the ability to persevere through almost anything. Without it I would not be who I am today. I will continue to use what gymnastics has taught me to help me be successful at life.
